Hypocrisy and Stupidity--Thy Name is Shrub

Continuing with Operation Stop the Hemorrhaging, the dauphin visited the friendly confines (for him) of Faux News for a chat with courtesan (in the truest sense of the term) Brit Hume...expect another day of steadily falling temperatures in all circles of Hell as I link and even cite some passages...

For those who, despite best intentions, have so much physical and mental revulsion at even the thought of hitting their site, here's a Reuters summary.

Shrubleroy, perhaps forgetting he likewise complimented Brownie with the same phrase, claimed Rummy was doing "a heckuva job" (Faux dropped the vernacular and chose to transliterate into standard English). Dropping his no comment pledge re: ongoing investigations, Rove got an official--if temporary--reprieve: no political cranium on a stick...yet. And apparently the "no comment" about ongoing investigations bullshit policy doesn't apply when the matter ISN'T the outing of a CIA agent or if the case is going to trial: Innocence was proclaimed for Bugs DeLay...and the Abramoff investigation was magically transferred into a pox on both political parties.

But Duke Cunningham was officially pushed off the upper deck--I guess even Shrubusto can't spin a guilty plea.

Big Time got an endorsement of sorts, but I doubt we'll be seeing much of him as more and more speculation makes Dick a central figure in the Plame scandal, the intelligence scandal, the Katrina scandal, the Halliburton scandal, Operation Enduring Clusterfuck, i.e., Son of Gulf War, Enron, etc. etc. Dick'll be spending all kinds of time in his secure, undisclosed duck blind somewhere near Patterson.

Oh--speaking of Hurricane Katrina--it merited exactly a single sentence from Shrub. Oh, excuse me, two sentences...and only in context of how inconvenient it all was, taking the focus off Iraq:

Well, I think — first of all, I was ready to make the case for Iraq coming out of the summer because I'm fully aware that in a time of war, particularly when the enemy has got the capacity to confuse the American people and to frighten the American people through their brutality that I need to remind people about that stakes and the strategy to achieve victory on a regular basis. And the problem was that that strategy was derailed by Katrina. During Katrina, it made it very difficult to talk about anything other than Katrina.

No wonder he can't be bothered: the storm CUT SHORT HIS VACATION AND DISTRACTED HIS IRAQ-THOUGHT. Damn that Gulf Coast...

Segueing into more playing-the-victim, dauphin now claims it's "unfair" to criticize his insistance upon invading Iraq in March 2003 (ah, how easy it is to forget the foot stamping, the temper tantrums, and the promises of quick success from wingnuttia, which they now claim never happened)...and the interview concluded with--this Peckerwood James Buchanan having the gall to compare himself...to Abraham Lincoln. No lie.

Methinks the Bubble-Shrub is more than a tad delusional.

Unfortunately, his delusion is matched hallucination for hallucination by the media. Hell, at this point, the otherwise apropos remark "will somebody please give this guy a blowjob so we can impeach him" probably wouldn't work: it'd just draw envious sighs from Brit Hume and all the other media whores and presstitutes out plying their trade.
